SET_SIMULATION_TIME

Enter the time specific conditions for a simulation.

The Diffusion Module (DICTRA) in Graphical Mode uses a Diffusion Calculator instead of the Console Mode commands. Most of the Console Mode functionality is available on the Diffusion Calculator. However, you cannot use both Graphical Mode and Console Mode in the same simulation.

Syntax

set_simulation_time

Prompts

Eend time for integration

The time up to which the simulation is to be carried out.

 

Automatic timestep control

Determines whether the time step should be controlled by an automatic procedure or not. If you answer N you are prompted for the fixed time step to use during the simulation. The time step determined by the automatic time step control procedure is controlled by the parameters set by the command SET_ACCURACY.

 

Max timestep during integration

The maximum time step allowed during the simulation. This is required when using the automatic procedure to determine the time step.

 

Timtestep during integration

Fixed time step used when the automatic time step procedure is disabled.

 

Initial timestep

Time step used as the initial time step.

 

Smallest acceptable timestep

The smallest time step allowed during the simulation. This is required when using the automatic procedure to determine the time step.
